>Moderate in today's Republican party

I'm sure I missed some.

Gillespie is a moderate in the sense that if he didn't feel the need (and wasn't so willing..) to bend and twist his agenda/campaigning style to win an election, he would probably campaign and govern like a moderate.

But that is not the case. Gillespie is the ultimate partisan hack. He was literally paid to be a partisan hack by holding the job of RNC chairman. Being a spineless hack that will do or say anything to cling to power and raise money is pretty much the job description of a party chair. It is because of this that Ed's gutter campaign and shameless flip-flopping doesn't surprise me one bit, even if I think he would govern a different way under the right circumstances.

This explains everything
